A particle falls towards earth from infinity. It’s velocity reaching the earth would be……… (A) infinity (B) √(2gR) (C) 2√(gR) (D) zero
A particle falls from infinity to the earth. Its velocity on reaching the earth of radius R is: A. 2Rg B. Rg C. √(Rg) D. √(2Rg)
A particle of mass $m$ is projected from the surface of earth with a speed $v_{0}\left(v_{0}<\right.$ escape velocity). The speed of particle at height $h-R$ (radius of earth) is: (Here $R=6400 \mathrm{~km}$ and $\left.g=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$ (a) $\sqrt{g} R$ (b) $\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}-2 g R}$ (c) $\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}-g R}$ (d) none of these
